Chapter 662 Chapter 621: Fire

At dawn, the distant fortress was still ablaze with lights. The orcs in the city must have heard the news of the massive counterattack of the human army at this moment - after all, such a huge army is marching, and the distance is only two days away, so the news cannot be hidden. The orcs in the city should have sharpened their blades and are preparing for battle. A smile appeared on the corner of Du Wei's mouth. Behind him, the griffin knight who had rested all night was already full of energy. In the wind of dawn, each of the griffins stood up, facing the morning wind, and spread their wings, as if they also felt the feeling before the war. tense atmosphere.

"Prepare to attack!" Du Wei issued the order in a deep voice, and then turned his head to glance at the lights of the orcs in the city. Well, have they not slept all night?Very good, since you don't want to sleep, let me send you to eternal sleep! ... When the sky was just getting dark, the Chinese army who came from the south to take charge of the frontal attack arrived at the south side of the fortress at dawn after a night of repairing. The reaction of the criminals in the city was very quick. On the southern city wall, looking at the horizon from a distance, a human army appeared like an ant colony, with swords and guns like a forest, shields like a wall, and they drove towards them murderously.Those orcs didn't have the slightest bit of fear. Instead, they raised their heads to the sky and howled excitedly. Many orcs even beat their chests hard, letting out ferocious roars.

Humanity! Humanity! These cowardly humans, they actually gave up the strong city walls and came to attack us?snort!If they were hiding in the walls, then maybe it would be tricky, but... field battle?Ha ha!Since the war, humans have never gained an advantage in field battles! ! The leader of the orc army quickly issued an order to go out of the city to fight, and the order was spread to every orc's ears: go up!Kill those humans! !kill them all! ! On the city wall, the orcs carried several huge leather drums. Amidst the humming of the drums, the gate to the south opened wide. The incomparably strong iron armor, like streams of black iron, rushed out of the city gate.

Soon, the phalanxes were already lined up under the city. Above the city wall, the leader of the orcs let out a loud roar, and the orc warriors in the phalanx immediately raised their long knives. There was a cold light in it, and then the orc warriors roared in unison, with a shocking rhythm in their voices, under this rhythm, the orc phalanx began to move forward slowly! In the distance, among the human camps, Yallor rode his horse and passed the front of his queue quickly. While carefully observing the distant orc phalanx slowly approaching, he made quick calculations in his heart. "Draw the sword!!!"

The officer at the front of the queue let out a majestic roar, and the soldiers wearing heavy infantry armor showed their weapons.And Yalor galloped wildly, and the spear in his hand collided with the sword edge of the soldiers in the front row quickly, making a series of clanging sounds. "Vertical Shield!!" The loud orders of the military commander spread throughout the battlefield. The soldiers in the front rows of the human infantry phalanx were carefully selected from the strongest and most courageous men. The iron shields stood in front of him. These shields were nearly two meters high. When marching on weekdays, they were disassembled into two pieces for transportation.

The shields were firmly inserted into the soil one by one. The two-meter-high shields formed a steel wall under the dense arrangement of the soldiers in the front row! The soldiers were trembling with excitement, and everyone looked proudly, watching nervously the orc phalanx approaching from a distance. "Hahahahahaha..." The leader of the orc army on the city wall, seeing this scene, couldn't help laughing contemptuously: "These cowardly humans! It's obviously a field battle, but they put up their shields first and let go! Haha! Look at their shields, they look like city walls …These humans don’t know how to fight without the city walls!! Break them down! Even the real city walls can’t stop our soldiers! Let alone such small shields!!”

Beside him, an orc immediately blew the horn, and the low-pitched sound of the horn quickly spread across the wilderness by the morning wind. The sound seemed desolate, but it faintly carried a kind of agitation that made people's hearts throb. ! ! ... "Well, has the war started yet?" From afar, listening to the faint sound of horns coming from the south, Luoxue stood on the north bank of the river, looking at the fortress on the south bank, it seemed to be smiling, but the smile was bitter and complicated... ... "The war has begun." Du Wei heard the horn on the battlefield behind the hillside in the west of the fortress, and he was also smiling, but this smile had a hint of sternness!

... The sound of the horn turned into a series of reminders. After the sound of the horn, the orc warriors quickly accelerated their pace, and the huge steel phalanx suddenly accelerated towards the human camp. In the phalanx, the orc officer is still using a thick roar to remind his soldiers to keep the phalanx intact and keep the shields dense while speeding up. According to the experience of fighting with humans, humans are very good at using bows and arrows ! However, when the target was only 500 meters away from the front line of the humans, the expected bows and arrows of the humans did not come—have these humans changed their combat habits?Humph……

Yalor stood at the front of the team, looking at the steel phalanx of orcs in the distance with a sullen face, and sighed in his heart: Sure enough, as the Duke said, there is no need to use bows and arrows at all—in fact, this time, in Duo Under Wei's order, there were even only a small number of archers in the army.Because looking at this phalanx of orcs, the front, back, left, and top of their heads are blocked by shields, like an iron turtle, and it is difficult for bows and arrows to effectively kill them. Yalor raised his right hand, and soon the military commander conveyed the order to the rear.

Behind the human camp, ballista carts dragged by carriages had been set up one after another. After seeing the order, the observer immediately roared: "Angle of thirty-five degrees! Shoot upwards!!" boom! There was a sound of nooses and the roar of ballistas. In the sky, the first wave of one hundred crossbow arrows pierced the sky, flew over the heads of the human army camp, and landed fiercely on the advancing orc phalanx. middle! The strong force of the noose made the ballista easily pierce the shield held by the orc warriors. One after another, half of the ballista landed on the top of the orc's head. Suddenly, the orc's phalanx became disordered, and the shield was easily smashed. Pierce through, the flesh and blood of the orc warriors hiding inside, even though they are strong, can't resist this kind of killing weapon made by humans. Often after a crossbow arrow shoots through the shield, it can still pierce two or three orc warriors inside. !

Hundreds of ballistas fired in salvo, under the constant order of observers: shoot upwards at a thirty-five-degree angle!Shot from a forty-five degree angle!Shoot at a sixty-degree angle! ! After several rounds of volleys, the wounded were not counted, at least hundreds of orc warriors were killed! Although the ballista was effective at killing the orc's steel phalanx, after all, the ballista was only good at penetrating power, and it couldn't cause too much damage. The orc's phalanx was a little chaotic, and soon, death The position of the orcs in the back row was pushed up by the orcs in the back row, and the gap in the phalanx was blocked again with shields!Moreover, the orc moved even faster, strenuously moving forward. According to the experience of fighting humans in the past, although this kind of ballista of humans is scary, its lethality cannot make the orcs really afraid.Moreover, as long as they quickly approached the human formation, the opponent's ballista would be useless! "Hmph, it really is the same old thing again." The orc leader on the city wall sneered, Luoxue did not intervene in today's war, but left it to the orc himself to command.The orcs, who have not been convinced by the command of the elves, decided to fight a good battle on their own, and let those elves with eyes above the top take a good look: Without you elves, we orcs are just as invincible! The leader of the orcs laughed wildly, pushed away the drummers around him, and beat the war drums with all his might. The sound of the drums was the last order of the orc army to charge! Hearing the sound of drums, on the battlefield, the orc phalanx was only 100 meters away from the front row of humans! Finally, amidst the sound of the drums, the orcs let out a roar in the phalanx in front of them, dropped their heavy shields one after another, raised their long knives, and rushed towards the human army! The battlefield was filled with wild roars of orcs for a moment, and the charge of the orcs, like a tsunami wave, slammed into the human queue fiercely! ! Alor had already left the front row and returned to the rear of the human heavy infantry. He saw the orc's final charge and roared loudly. His voice was thick and steady! "Steady!!" "Steady!!" The human warriors in the front row saw those majestic and long-haired orcs rushing forward, and even heard the opponent's heavy breathing clearly, and saw the opponent's blood-red eyes and mouth full of fangs! finally…… boom!bang bang bang bang... Like a wave hitting a rock, the front end of the orc's wave-like charge finally slammed into the human shield wall!The impact of the large black torrent seemed to knock out pieces of steel waves at the front of the human shield! The human warriors held their bodies firmly against the shields, and the human queues in the first few rows maintained an extremely dense queue. The orcs rushed in front of the human beings, hit the human shields fiercely with their bodies, and slashed wildly with their long knives. ... "It's now! Spear!!!" With the roar of the military commander, on the shield wall at the front of the human heavy armored infantry, according to the original design, several gaps in the shield immediately opened.The orc, who had already pressed his body against the human shield wall fiercely, was in the midst of a mad roar and charge, but suddenly saw a gap in the human shield wall in despair, and a sharp long spear stabbed out suddenly. Spear! The distance was too close, the orcs at the front of the shield wall couldn't dodge at all!This kind of special human spear is more than 2.50 meters long. Each spear is held by two soldiers hiding behind the shield wall. The body of the orc pierced through! Flowers of blood bloomed one after another. At the front end of the shield wall, a large number of orcs were caught off guard by the spears pierced from the shield, and their bodies were like pieces of dead flesh. , Hanging on the spears, there were too many orcs charging before the human shields. Under the pressure, the formation was too dense, and almost every spear was missed!Some spears even pierced through three or four orcs at once! On the long shield wall, it suddenly became a dead zone! "Retract the spear! Second round! Stab!!!" The human officer quickly issued an order, and the human soldiers hiding behind the shield wall skillfully drew back their spears, blood splashed everywhere, and groups of orcs fell in front of the shield wall! The more orcs behind didn't know what happened, they only knew that they continued to rush forward frantically, trampled on the bodies of their dead companions, and continued to swarm towards the human shield wall in a swarm. And then, the old trick of human beings was repeated, and the spear with the breath of death was stabbed out from the gap in the shield wall again! "prick!!" "prick!!!" "prick!!!!" Crying, screaming, roaring, struggling and howling before death! The combination of the shield wall and the spear caused groups of orcs to fall to the front of the human shield wall, and the corpses fell on the ground densely. The orcs behind finally understood what happened.But at this time, the casualties of orcs have exceeded thousands! And humans... the long shield wall, only a few gaps were opened by the orcs' crazy collision, but after the spearmen in the back row killed the rushing orcs, other human soldiers held up their shields soon Go up. On the city wall, the leader of the orcs was furious when he saw this scene: "Damn humans! Despicable! Cunning!!" However, despite harvesting a large number of orc lives, these races with savage blood are far more powerful than human expectations!After the comrades in the front row died in battle, the orcs drove up to the phalanx behind, but under the roar of the orc officers, the orcs roared up to the sky one by one, and soon, they began to turn into beasts! As the orcs roared one by one, their muscles swelled rapidly, their bones quickly became thicker, their fur stood on end, and their stature skyrocketed! Under the command of the officer, the orcs who rushed forward no longer used their flesh and blood to deal with the human shield wall and spears. These orcs grabbed their shields, lay them in front of them, and continued to rush towards the human shield wall! The waves seemed to become more and more fierce! There were terrifying crashing sounds. Although the shield bearers of the heavy armored infantry in the front row of humans tried their best to maintain a dense formation, relying on each other, and using all their strength and body against the shield, they could clearly feel that these orcs The force of the collision is more than twice as strong as before! As for the spearman, under the order of the officer, the assassination with the spear gradually became difficult!The orc used a shield to block in front of him, the spear pierced out, pierced on the shield, and often burst out a stream of sparks!And even if some spears can pierce the enemy, the orc warriors who have turned into beasts have doubled in physical strength and courage!Even if their bodies were pierced by the spears, these orcs would still growl and grab the spears fiercely, lift up the long knives with all their strength, and chop them fiercely, breaking the spears instantly! Even more orcs, in their dying struggle, used almost terrifying power to pull the spear out of the shield fiercely! For a moment, the human shield wall finally began to tremble and become disordered. Under the desperate charge of the orcs, a large gap finally appeared in the solid shield wall. The orc warriors who rushed into the gap often ignored the human soldiers behind the shield. The swords stabbing from all directions just roared, raised their weapons, and slashed fiercely at the human closest to him!Even if my body is pierced by human swords in many places, I will use the last bit of strength to knock down the human soldier closest to me! This shocking combat power caused the human shield wall to begin to collapse! The shield wall in the first row was quickly smashed, and the human heavy infantry and orc warriors in the front line fell into a chaotic strangulation. Often even if the orcs died, as long as there was a gap in front of them, they would use their last ounce of strength to fight back. The body and weight slammed into it fiercely, trying to fight for even the slightest air strike for the companions behind him! Some orcs yelled and rushed towards the dense human swords in front of them, using their bodies as meat shields for the charging companions behind them! ! The shield wall of the first row collapsed, the second row... the third row... As for the shield walls and formations arranged by the humans in the first few rows, under the crazy charge of the orcs, the formation began to rear unconsciously. Casualties also increased rapidly! The orcs after beastization have even strengthened their physical bodies a lot, and they even seem to be extremely insensitive to pain. Often, some humans have already slashed each other with a knife. As long as it is not a fatal point, the orcs will seem to be unconscious Usually, with a backhand knife, the body of the human warrior who was in shock was split in half! The front ranks retreated slowly, and the formation became more and more flattened... Yalor wiped his sweat and glanced at the front row: "It's time! Send the signal! If this goes on, we can't stand it anymore! Damn, these orcs are really monsters!" boom! ! A flame shot up into the sky behind the human camp! After a while, I heard the side of the battlefield, and in the distance, a large cloud of dust was raised! In the distance, a dark shadow was originally behind the right side of the human camp, but it quickly passed the human right wing, then made a detour, and rushed towards the battlefield horizontally! The sky is full of dust, and in the flying dust, only a shadow at the front is gradually appearing! cavalry! Human cavalry! ! Thunder ride! ! Thousands of horses are galloping, iron hoofs are trampling the ground, and the dense roar of rain makes the ground seem to be moaning and trembling! The majestic thunder cavalry charged, and the giant war horses spread their hooves and galloped at full speed, finally revealing their terrifying majesty! ! These giant war horses, even the bodies of the horses, are covered with thick full-body armor! !Every cavalry on the horse is a standard and expensive knight's full plate armor!There is an iron face on the helmet!From head to toe, almost no skin is exposed!The weapon in the hands of each cavalry is not the traditional stabbing spear or saber of the imperial cavalry, but... a mace! The black vest and the black knight's full plate armor made these galloping Thunder Riders turn into a black cloud, a torrent of black steel! The thunder cavalry rushed into the battlefield from the side, charging the formation with the cavalry's arrows, like a sharp knife, ruthlessly piercing into the orc's flank on the battlefield! boom! ! The reaction time left for the orcs was not lacking. The orc phalanx on the most flank quickly turned around under the command of the officer. roar! "Block them!!" The orc officer roared! It was this orc phalanx that was the first to bear the brunt of the Thunder Rider's charge! These orcs are not afraid of human cavalry at all. In previous battles, they have fully understood the combat effectiveness of human cavalry! Even in field battles, the orc warriors and human cavalry did not lose the slightest bit!Although the human cavalry charged very powerfully, the orcs were able to resist the opponent with their strong physique and phalanx formation! However, this time, the orcs were wrong, because what they encountered were not ordinary human cavalry, but thunder cavalry created by Du Wei after several years of careful research in the northwest! Giant Warhorse Thunder Ride! ... ... boom! ! ! When the torrent of Thunder Rider's charge hit the orc phalanx head-on, the orc, who had been full of confidence before, let out a terrifying and desperate roar! A giant war horse with a minimum height of more than two meters and a weight of more than one ton, plus the armor of the whole body, the weight of a cavalry on horseback, and the sprint force after galloping!This terrifying momentum of frantic galloping and charging is no longer something the orcs can resist! The orc at the forefront, under the charge of Lei Qi, didn't even have time to react, and was directly slammed and flew out!Then a large number of Thunder Riders roared past. In the orc formation, the orc warriors immediately turned into paper mud when facing these huge, wild and explosive cavalry! The dense queue could not bring even the slightest obstruction to Lei Qi's charge. The powerful Lei Qi seemed to be transformed into heavy tanks. Under the collision, they could directly knock the orcs in front of them into the air!The horseshoes galloped, rushing past, not to mention resisting the orcs head-on, even if they were scratched by the thunder cavalry, they would be smashed to pieces immediately! The phalanx that bore the brunt did not hinder Lei Qi's progress at all, and it collapsed in an instant!A large number of thunder riders galloped past, crushing the orc phalanx to pieces! The cavalry on the horse frantically waved their maces, harvesting the lives of the orcs!Even if the orc has a strong body and can't die for a while under the blow of a mace, as long as he falls to the ground, he will be trampled into a pile of flesh by the horseshoes of Lei Qi who swarmed past behind him! Gaida sat on the horse, his mace was covered with broken flesh and blood, and his whole body was dyed red. His fighting spirit, which was originally silver, had turned a miserable red under the light of blood.As the commander of Thunder Cavalry, he charged at the forefront of the team, and killed countless orcs under the mace, and even the officers of this phalanx were smashed to death by his blow! On the mace full of thorns, the flesh and blood of orcs were hung. He and the countless Thunder Knights under his command had become a murderous maniac! The wind and clouds whizzed by! Lei Qi tore through the first phalanx that bore the brunt, and continued to charge horizontally toward the depths of the battlefield! On the city wall, the orcs who saw this scene were stunned. They never thought that human cavalry could have such a powerful combat power? ! In front of Lei Qi, the huge body and mighty strength that the orcs were proud of were completely at a disadvantage.What's more frightening is not the mace of the knight, but the war horse of those thunder riders!These war horses are not afraid of the blood and flesh flying across the battlefield, and it seems that once they see blood, these war horses seem to change more and more crazy!The roar of the war horse was like a tiger and wolf! Seeing that the thunder cavalry was like the aura of the scorching sun melting snow, it broke down the three phalanxes of the orcs in an instant, and the leader of the orcs on the city wall finally roared out: "Let the wolf ride! Let the wolf ride block them!!" "But, leader! The Elven King only left us two thousand wolf cavalry..." One of his subordinates hastily reminded: "These human cavalry are weird, and there are more of them than wolf cavalry..." "Bastard!" The leader of the orcs knocked this subordinate down with a fist, and roared, "No matter what, let the wolf cavalry dispatch! We must block these cavalry, otherwise, our phalanx will be in chaos!!" ... ... Gaida smashed a tall orc in front of him with a stick so that his helmet was dented. The orc became more fierce after being seriously injured. Fly upside down, spurt blood and die from a distance!The vindictive light on Gaida's mace is like a torch, flying left and right... Finally, the pressure in front of him suddenly eased, and he looked carefully, but he had already rushed out of the battlefield! With just one stick of incense, Lei Qi has already traversed the entire battlefield, smashing at least four orc formations!It caused nearly ten thousand damage to the orcs!Among these injuries, only 30% died from the knight's mace, and more died from the collision and trampling of horses! Gaida raised his mace high and galloped forward for a while, then slowed down his horse. Looking back, the Thunder Cavalry under his command still maintained at least 80%! Although many knights were injured, the horses became more irritable and excited!The armor of some war horses was broken by the orc's dying counterattack, and blood flowed, but these war horses didn't feel anything at all!Hot air is sprayed from the nostrils, and the eyes are blood red! Seeing that the orc army in the distance behind him had already been pierced and charged by himself, and the formation was scattered, Gaida became excited and shouted: "Turn around and re-form! Let's charge it back and forth again!!" At this time, the gate of the city was wide open, and groups of wolf cavalry roared out of the city, with a clear target, towards the side of the battlefield, where the thunder cavalry gathered fiercely! "Haha! The number is so small...but cavalry vs. cavalry is the happiest!" Gaida laughed wildly a few times: "Rush up! Let these beasts taste our power!!" ... "One, two, three..." On the hillside, Du Wei put down his binoculars, and made a quick calculation in his mind: "Six phalanxes, that's at least 60,000 orcs. I'm afraid there are still a small number of reserve teams in the city. Well, there seem to be fewer wolf riders. It only looks like two thousand... But why are there no elves participating in the battle?" Du Wei then shook his head, no matter what!Opportunity is here! "All out! The griffins are in front, and the magicians are following!" Du Wei turned over and jumped on the back of his griffin mount, pulled the reins, the griffin raised its neck, flapped its wings, and immediately flew straight into the sky, followed by a hundred griffin riders behind, like a dark cloud, fiercely Pounced towards the fortress in the distance! "Enemy! Sky!!" The orcs on the city wall quickly spotted Du Wei and the others, and those air cavalry with wings were exactly the Slytherins that had appeared a few days ago! ! Although the name of Slytherin shocked the elves even more, the orcs naturally knew about this legend! Seeing a hundred griffin knights appearing in the sky and swooping down towards the fortress frantically, the orcs raised their weapons one after another, feeling a little dazed for a moment. Du Wei was at the front, controlling the griffin, quickly skipping over the city wall, and the cross gun in his hand swept across fiercely, immediately smashing several orc warriors on the city wall into the air, and the griffin also stretched out Immediately, he grabbed an orc and easily tore it apart in mid-air. The broken corpse smashed into the city with blood! He swept up into the air again, made several gestures quickly, and conveyed the order. "Don't get entangled with the orcs, directly attack the intended target location!" In the sky, hundreds of Griffin Knights dispersed in a rush, turning into a dozen squads, scattered in all directions towards every corner of the fortress... Warehouses, houses, buildings, walls... Before the war, Du Wei had already marked all the places he knew where kerosene, firewood and other firelighters were piled up in the city! These places will be important places for the griffins to attack directly! The appearance of the griffins caused the orcs to fall into a panic. They lacked the means to counterattack the enemies in the air, so they could only clumsily gather the few ballistas left in the fortress after the defeat of the humans, and launch them into the sky. However, the orcs had never been trained with ballistas, and the griffins moved swiftly. The roar of the ballistas didn't even damage the griffin's fur! And then, while setting fires everywhere in Griffon Knight City, dense figures appeared in the sky! Magician! Duke Tulip's special magician team recruited by Du Wei appeared in the sky of the fortress! These are all the magicians recruited by Du Wei who have a relatively high level of magic and are good at fire magic. There are about 30 magicians in the concentration! One by one, the magicians immediately started chanting spells!Even though some magicians are not good enough, with the high-grade walnut wand and the magic power increase of the top-grade red fire diamond dedicated to fire magic, their strength has surged to a higher level! In an instant, dozens of flames in the sky roared and shot down towards the city... fire! There is fire everywhere! ! The low-level magicians frantically fired fireballs, while the high-level magicians cast fire magic one by one! firewall!Fire-absorbing storms, fire-type vortexes, and even summoning fire elements! ! Soon, there was an explosion, followed by flames soaring into the sky! A place where a lot of kerosene barrels were piled up was ignited. During the explosion, the flames shot up into the sky!Under the action of fire oil, the flame spread quickly! The orcs were busy fighting the fire, but at the same time they had to face the attack of griffins from the sky, so they couldn't concentrate their energy at all. The magicians almost didn't consider the consumption of magic power at all, and threw away the fire magic one by one.Warehouses, city walls, and many other places in the city quickly turned into seas of flames! Some magicians, after setting the fire, dropped one or two wind spells, making the fire spread even more fiercely with the help of the wind! ! On the battlefield outside the city, the orc army was horrified to find the fort behind them, and soon there were flames everywhere, and thick smoke billowed into the sky... The fire started little by little, and then quickly connected into a took a slice... "All withdraw shields!! Charge!!!" Just when the orc army fell into panic, the human army roared excitedly! The shield was removed, and the soldiers of the human army behind waved their weapons and launched an attack! The wolf cavalry who had just left the city had not yet been able to contact the thunder cavalry, and the fortress behind them had undergone tremendous changes!But at this moment, Gaida doesn't care so much, he has already urged the horse quickly, and rushed towards the wolf rider in front, and the thunder rider behind him roared up... ... "Fire! Put out the fire! Save..." Click!The last sound never came out, a spear shadow pierced the orc warrior's neck, and his head exploded into a ball of blood directly under the effect of fighting spirit! Du Wei withdrew his spear, only to see that the city was already full of flames, he couldn't help but feel happy, and roared loudly. A building, a street, a city wall!The place where the firewood and kerosene had been piled up quickly became one piece under the spread of the fire! The orcs in the city are starting to despair! They try to escape, but where are they going? north?The way to the north has been blocked by the fire!Fire everywhere! ! As for the tens of thousands of orc troops on the battlefield in the south of the city, they were even more dead!In front of them are fierce human counterattacks and thunder cavalry!Behind... There is no chance to retreat! !The fortress has turned into a city of fire! ! ... To the north of the river, Luoxue stood there, looking at the fortress in the distance in the flames, with a strange expression on its face, as if it just sighed lightly. "What a big fire..." Behind it, Rohart was also shocked, but then Rohart heard Luoxue's low sigh, and the young man suddenly felt moved, and suddenly stared at Luoxue in shock: "You...you..."
